I like your intro!
You are long winded -- which I like because then I'm not the only one. Glad to have you in as part of this group and jump in any time with ideas and answers for anything posted. You may be "early" in your 1-2-3rd Gen journey but your experience is already far beyond many, so share it when they arrive and pay it forward by keeping the forum active.
It's enjoyable to hear your enthusiasm. Just because we all find our own way, I'll say that across ALL the models, we each have our tastes and loves. I say that... as I had a stainless/alloy CS9 and I just couldn't love it. It functioned 100% and I was impressed with it's accuracy ability but I didn't enjoy it and I never had any intention to carry it, so I forwarded it on at a gun show a couple years back. It seems that they are much loved in this forum, but it couldn't grab my love.
Glad you are in the fray. We will work HARD to coerce you in to our favorite different 1-2-3rd Gens!
